Was anyone else granted access to Pottermore this past weekend?
I was, and I almost careened my way off the road when I noticed I had received my owl (yeah, yeah. I know how awful it is to read your email while driving). Needless to say, the first thing I did when I got home was check the site and…it was down. I checked again: still down.

It wasn’t until I returned home after a raucous night with my derby sisters at 3am that I finally was able to get in and enjoy some of the site. I won’t spoil, but…So.much.fun. I managed to be given my wand before 4am, when I realized I was absolutely ridiculous, the biggest nerd on the planet and needed some sleep.

Unfortunately, it seems the site has been experiencing an overload so I’ve only been able to access it randomly, but during one of those random visits, was able to to be sorted! I couldn’t believe how nervous I felt during the (very non-obvious) quiz, and found myself thinking what I would do with myself if I was sorted into another house that was not Gryffindor, when I saw the lion crest emblazoned on my screen. Looks like I had nothing to worry about!

If you were one of the first million as well, let’s be friends!
